Johnsbarleycorn@ the next thing you'll be telling us is how much you admire Margaret Thatcher together with "Vote Tory, old chap, you know it makes sense! What what?!"
One of a kind. A truly fascinating and charismatic man who has the gift to not only help us to see things in a more interesting way but to make us think also a little harder about what we are seeing. He is the Patrick Moore of the Arts!
John Berger's Ways of Seeing is replete with ridiculous untruths and left-wing propaganda.
It is the most absurd and poisonous book I have read in years.
In it he applies fatuous theories from Levi Strauss and other left wing "thinkers" and sneers in the typically infantile, 70s, Dave Spart type of left wing manner that was in vogue at the time.
He's an impressive fellow indeed, and still going strong... 85 he is, I believe. He signed my copy of 'Into Their Labours', we exchanged a few words... I watched him interact with the audience... he's one of the most charismatic persons I ever met.

Pure garbage.

My hero - and looking so well for 85.
Many thanks for taking the trouble to post this, which I missed, not living in the UK.
